Bank of Indonesia Museum, which displays the role of the Central Bank in the history of the Indonesian archipelago since Dutch colonial days, is located by Old Batavia’s main Fatahillah Plaza, next to the Bank Mandiri Museum, opposite the Beos Station, at Jalan Pintu Besar Utara No. 3,
The Museum provides information on the role of the central bank in the nation’s history, stretching as far back as the time before the arrival of European traders to the archipelago in the 17th century to the formation of Bank Indonesia in 1953. It further informs about the various policies made by the Bank and their impact on the national financial position until 2005.
Most of the presentations are in modern high-tech and multi-media electronic displays , statitc panels, touch screen television monitors and diorama, and parabolic speakers, making it clear and simple for visitors to understand some of the most complicated financial issues. Besides this, there is also a numismatic collection of coins and old legal tender used in a number of ancient Indonesian kingdoms and during the Dutch colonial era. It's one of the main attraction among the Jakarta Old Town area.
All entrance is free of charge. A tour guide is available everyday — however during Monday-Friday, it's best to have an advance booking to ensure the guide availability. For those coming between Saturday & Sunday, come on 10:00 or 14:00 to walk around with the guide.
